The Darkest Of Nights

Ashen Mortality

Cold winter frost bites my face and hands

As I fall into the darkest night as yet I have known

Mind full of memories makes it's cruel demands

How can I face another hour alone



Is there no hope for me within my misery



Pain bleeding despair

Ceaseless for so long

Many years gone

Longing for release

How can I begin again



Be near me for I am alone

As I fall into the darkest night as yet I have known

Lord be my refuge in this hour of pain

Please bring me glimpses of light through the rain



In my mind can you see black rain falls down on me



Pain bleeding despair

Ceaseless for so long

Many years gone

Longing for release

How can I begin again



I'm still feeling the pain

Longing empty within

For me to die would be release

I long to see my love again



Beloved Lord I know you still hear my cries

I am old and frail and I long to be set free

All that I loved in this life has gone

Reunite us in your arms soon in your kingdom



I can now only see death as freedom for me



Pain bleeding despair

Ceaseless for so long

Many years gone

Longing for release

How can I begin again



Pain bleeding despair

Ceaseless for so long

Many years gone

Longing for release

How can I begin again



As I face this lonely night

Am I wrong longing to leave

If it's your will for me to stay

Lead me finally through this grief



As I face this lonely night

Am I wrong longing to leave

If it's your will for me to stay

Lead me finally through this

Grief
